For Wednesday, Dec. 19:

This year you often are inspired to live out a dream or go for what you really want. Sometimes this path can be confusing. If you are single, you could be drawn to a Capricorn or a very strong-willed individual. If you are attached, share more of your newfound inspiration by living it.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

••• You might react in a resistant manner to someone’s proposal. Whether it is good or bad, think about the consequences that your reactions might bring. Tonight: Off to the gym.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• Act quickly, or you could miss out on an important opportunity. A conversation with an adviser points to making a more solid decision about present facts. Tonight: Take some personal time.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Zero in on a goal. The unexpected surrounds a revelation, which allows you to move forward. Tonight: Only where your friends are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Understanding evolves after a conversation. You might not like how assertive a friend or loved one is, but at least this person gets the action moving. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Work with a partner directly. Unusual information could toss your thinking into “revamp” mode. Tonight: Only where there is music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Others dominate the scene and want control. That’s OK — you have other fish to fry. Tonight: Remain sensitive to a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Easy works, but not everyone is in agreement with you. A family member knows how to push you hard. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• You might want to move past a problem involving someone talking too much. You already have tried to isolate yourself by screening calls. Tonight: Silence is nice.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• o you feel as if someone is dragging you down? You suddenly might decide to toss the shackles and free yourself, which could result in a mouth-gaping audience. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• You might be coming off stronger than you realize. If someone backs away, he or she probably has good reason. Tonight: Relax with a pal.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• You can flex your budget, or you could consider robbing Peter to pay Paul. The best solution would be to pare down remaining gifts. Tonight: Rethink your shopping list.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• You can try positive thinking, but that might not bring you what you want. Go out, and lasso in exactly what you would like. Tonight: Keep wishing on a star, but only if you must.
